“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 Christian Richard Rees, 69, passed away Sunday morning, July 5th Read Obituary
Love you Chris❤️ I enjoyed every memory with you; California, Arkansas and Colorado! You will be missed!!!
Chris was such an awesome man. I meet Chris at work when I transfer to Sallisaw. I would drive 2 hours and 15mins one way to work everyday and Chris would give me so much encouragement and tell me this too shall pass. Just stay disciplined. I was having trouble learning my job but Chris sat me down and showed me how to really read my meter. I have since moved on to management and made my way back to okc. I’m forever grateful for crossing paths with Chris. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I’m 100 percent sure I know where Chris is now. Job well done Chris.
I only met Chris a couple times and stayed in their home. He left an impression that you could not forget so kind and loving to his wife and family.
What I remember the most about Chris is he was always busy. Working hard to provide for his family, and taking care of the beautiful home they all shared. He had a smile that could light up a room, and it beamed very brightly when he spoke of his children and his wife. He seemed very content while in nature and doing things outside. His dedication to his family and to his faith was evident in every thing he did. He went through things that most of us could not even imaging never wavering in his faith.

I remember the first time I remember meeting Uncle Chris. I was young, preschool age, my Dad was stationed in VA, and my family was all excited because Uncle Chris was coming to visit. I remember thinking, '...who is this Uncle Chris', and '... what is an Uncle, really?' Well, the day finally came to pick him up from the airport. My family and I, all 6 of us, piled into our VW van and brought home Uncle Chris. By the end of the visit, I realized an Uncle is funny, kind, and always good for a hug— and I never wanted him to leave. I guess some things never change. Thank you Uncle Chris, for being the 'Bestest' uncle. I have truly loved and appreciated you since I first remember meeting you. Thank you, Jesus, for the joyful hope of seeing my Uncle Chris again. I love you both so very, very much. So many, many hugs, Laurie.
